I was digging through my photos yesterday, looking for some blogging inspiration, when I came across a before photo of our kitchen! I was really excited, since I didn’t know whether or not we had taken a before photo. But we had. Here is a photo of us walking around with our parents and our realtor before house closing.

You can see the carpeting they had glued down over the original 9×9 tiles that were in the kitchen. I know I have some pictures of the original tile to0, but that will have to wait until another day. Also, the walls were kind of a “whole wheat bread” color, which didn’t look great with the marble windowsills.

Here it is after the new VCT tile and paint. I am sure many of you have seen it before, but I just wanted to show it next to the before photo!

Oh, and loyal reader Sara said she was having trouble leaving a comment. Hopefully that is resovled now, but if anyone has any other problems, email me!

Hey Ruth! I made it over from the old blog, I guess! I have a Google Reader, and this is where it brought me, so I’d say everything is working A-Okay. I love the before-and-after pix of the kitchen. Post more of other rooms if you get a chance.

One of the most glorious kitchens that I have ever seen, hands down. I’m so glad that you brought in the pink and those floor tiles – perfect. Honestly, I don’t know how you ever leave that kitchen. I’d pretend to do a cooking show every day if I had it.

Love the kitchen !!! Its given me inspiration lol I grew up in a MCM on Long Island that my parents designed. Yet somehow I managed to find myself owning a house built in 1848 in Upstate NY . My goal is to have the retro kitchen of my dreams . Our upstairs kitchen has Harmony House cabinets with red crackled ice counter tops – I’m trying to convince my husband that we need them in our downstairs kitchen that he’s gutting out .

Hi! Love the tiles. can you tell me exactly what colors you have used? We’ve used VCT in our mudroom, my walk in pantry and little girls room…to DIE for. Now, I think we are going to use it in our masterbathroom. Also, did you use four tiles to make larger checker board look? Any more pictures you have would be great! I would be happy to share mine too!
